Could someone translate this for me?

[BuzzLightYear]

I don't know if its rude or not?

Vesihiisi sihisi hississä. Is this as bad as I think it is?

Thanks,

[RA]

It's a tongue twister.

The vesihiisi (I don't know what this is) hissed in the elevator.

According to my wife it could mean the water goblin peed in the elevator - unlikely though because it`s often used as a tongue twister for kids.

these have more dual etendre
"Vaka vanha Väinämöinen laski laulellen vesiä"
"Älä heitä vettä veneessä seisten"

Hank, what do those last two mean?

[mrjimsfc]

"Älä heitä vettä veneessä seisten"

A meaningful translation would be "Don't piss into the wind!" (it will all blow back onto you)

"Älä heitä vettä veneessä seisten"

A meaningful translation would be "Don't piss into the wind!" (it will all blow back onto you)

Actually a more PERTINENT translation of the second sentence would simply be the straightforward direct rendition of not p!ss!ng (regardless of wind direction or velocity) while standing up in an open boat, since - particularly at this very time of year (just eight or nine days from now) - the number of males who DO attempt to relieve themselves over the prow of a rowing boat while in an upright position is directly correlated with the number who populate the drowning statistics in Monday morning's papers.

It is said, ironically but with much truth, that the best way of killing oneself at Juhannus is standing up in a boat with an open fly, with one's member in one hand and a bottle of Kiteen kirkas in the other. Second on the list is "Huh? What do you mean I can't schwim to that rock out there and back?", closely followed by "What do you mean I should use the jetty steps? I LIKE diving in!"

All three of these are likely to surface on Monday June 27th, but those who practice the urination or speak the fatal lines will probably only surface a few weeks from then, some distance away from where they disappeared under water.
